Samsung has added a new app to the Play Store, but it's not entirely new. This is a beta version of Samsung's music app, which it will apparently be updating via the Play Store from here on out. The only compatible devices we're seeing right now are Samsung phones running Marshmallow, but we've got the APK if you want to install it on another device. No promises it will work, though.

The app is a rather straightforward music player with Samsung's usual design aesthetic. It hides the status bar, because that's Samsung's thing these days. The tabs across the top give you access to your music library in various ways including by track, album, artist, and folders. In typical Samsung fashion, the new music app supports device discovery via DLNA, but not Chromecast streaming.

This app is only for local music that you have saved on the device, but it supports just about any file including lossless FLAC audio. Samsung's changelog for this release simply says this it's a beta, so I suppose there will be updates incoming soon, but it'll probably remain only for Android 6.0 devices. The app is also available on APK Mirror.

When I saw the draft of 5439 dollars,,,hb I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his free time with his PC. . His aunt's neighbor has done this for only 10 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car .

well, you could just minimize the app. it's a music anyway, not a video.
music information at notification is enough for me to control my music.

Oh my god, is this ugly (imo). Material-inspired design with blurring is just a no go (for me).

Suicide_Note

Won't install on my 6P.

Sorry man, but someone can tell to Samsung that isn't Material Design and it is like an apple app?
(my english is shit)

Martin

Your comment is sh*t.
Not everyone likes everything Material.. ;)

Google doesn't make developers use material design, so there's literally nothing wrong with Samsung deciding to not use it. If you want a material music app there's plenty in the play store to choose from, no need to pull an Apple and restrict consumer choice.

Tell that to Google. Google just added the iOS style bottom bar to material guidelines.

If you think that every app should be Material, then I got news for you. I bet you're the type of person who gives an app 1 star if the Material design isn't spot on, and we all hate you for it (if you do it).

Hmm. Looks kinda like Spotify's UI, but with brighter colors. No need for me to download since I don't listen to any music locally anymore.

This is the same player I got with the M update for my S6.

It is in the eye of the beholder but I use this app everyday and really like it. It's animations and it blends in really well with Samsung Touchwiz UI. They don't use icons for menus but only CAPS text. The blurred background changes color depending on the album cover you are playing.

Other minor stuff which makes it cool IMO
- clicking the close button on the notification fades out the music instead of cutting it off
- the player controls have the same colors as the notifications UI and respect the theme you have applied
- it integrates nicely with S-Health when you are doing sports.
- you can fully customize the tabs (and change the order) you want to see like: tracks, albums, artists, genres, folders, composers, ...
- it lists recently added albums on top
- it supports every format and scans all embedded tags
- it features as soundpicker which you can use on OS level to play sounds
- it has different handy view in landscape mode
- it has a transparant widget

I never get why anyone would use an app like this. It'll probably be already installed when you get the phone, I guess that's one.

I don't have a single song on my internal memory. I stream everything through Google Play Music or Spotify. Having music locally seems so old.

Fred

good luck trying to find and stream REAL audio quality files.

Rob S

Not everyone has a contract with enough gigabytes of high speed traffic to stream music. Some people live in places with slower connections, some people commute via subway trains with slow connection. Others aren't satisfied with the quality or selection of the music available via streaming.
Good for you that you can stream all the music you are listening to, but it doesn't work for everyone. That's not about "old" vs. "new" but about what works best.

Looks like a Google music ripoff

The Galaxy S5 Music app was the best to me. I loved the popping colours effect when you toutched the album cover when a song was playing. Sadly they removed that from the new music app.

Lucas Guthrie

How would I remove it from my note 4? I installed via the apk

Rodrigo Miranda

Don't buy a S7 or S7 Edge if you like to use built in music App or FM built in player.
